Let me know what you think!

Do you say, My anger is justified, so I can hold onto it. Are you holding onto something that hurt you deeply? Do you replay it in your mind over and over? Today, I will share three tips about how God can set you free from anger.

Today we will define what anger is and I will share three steps about how God you can be free from anger.

Tip 1: What anger does.

I can relate to your feelings of anger and resentment. Bitterness turns into anger –at first, anger feels like control. Bur in reality, anger increases emotional exhaustion. God explains in His word, “Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.” James 1:20

Tip #2: Anger is a signal – not a solution.

Anger, like bitterness, feels like protection…but it becomes a prison. The Bible says, “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” Eph. 4:26 Anger is a signal, not a solution.

Tip #3: Bring your anger to God.

Confess to God – yes. It takes honesty. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Repent to God – returning to God and confessing your sin, is admitting to God, Yes “I did it.” The act of repentance is the choice we can make to turn away from our sin. You can say, “Lord, I repent of my sin.” Repentance means a change of heart. We find in Psalm 51:10, a sample prayer. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Bring your angry heart, your hurting heart, honestly to God. This is not suppression – this is surrender.

Today’s unshakable truth: In Christ, you can be free from anger.
I told God, “I give You my reaction before it becomes regret.” I challenge you to use the three tips to invite God to heal your angry heart:

Tip 1: What anger does. Refusing to release our anger and resentments increases tension and stress, depletes energy, causes isolation, and prevents old wounds from healing. God explains in His word, “Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires.” James 1:20

Step 2: Anger is a signal, not a solution. Burying your feelings is like leaving a trail of unexploded emotional dynamite. The Bible says, “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” Eph. 4:26

Step 3: Bring your anger honestly to God. Pause – Pray – Surrender – Confess – Repent - – Release . Instead of reacting, you return to God. Bring your angry heart, your hurting heart, honestly to God. This is not suppression – this is surrender. Friend, you don’t have to stay imprisoned by your anger. If today’s message spoke to your heart, take a moment right now to pause and pray:
“Lord, thank You for forgiving me of my sins. God, I give you my reaction before it becomes regret.”
